I was closing from night duty , where I worked as a security guard around eight AM , when I spotted my sister Ejiro publicly kissing and caressing a Yahoo boy beside his Lexus Jeep .
” Ejiro are you mad ? What do you think you’re doing with that idiot early in the morning?
She hissed and continued kissing , I was pissed and I drag her away from the guy , who was obviously high from alcohol , the smell of alcohol filled my nose while he spoke . She pulled her hands and continued kissing. I got so pissed , I started dragging her to the house .
” Bros na you go marry ya sister ?
The Yahoo guy asked me
” You must be stupid , you ritualist ”
I said to him . Ejiro was fighting to go back to him , I got mad and landed her a hot slap .

Mama heard Ejiro’s voice as she was crying , she ran out of her room
” Solo ! Why you dey beat my pikin ? You dey mad ?”
I tried to explain but she had landed me a hot slap that cut the words from my mouth .
” Mama I saw Ejiro kissing a Yahoo boy on the street …”
